The Private Placement is supported by Hexagon Composites ASA ("Hexagon Composites") and Mitsui & Co., Ltd. through pre-commitments and pre-allocations. Hexagon Composites has irrevocably committed to subscribe for, and will receive an allocation of shares for, approx. NOK 380 million in the Private Placement.

“Hexagon Composites remains committed to Hexagon Purus’ development and success. We are pleased to take part in the Company’s continued remarkable growth and to note its line of sight to profitability," says Jon Erik Engeset, CEO of Hexagon Composites.

Hexagon Composites will receive all or a substantial proportion of its allocation in Tranche 2 which will be conditional upon approval by the EGM.

In connection with the Private Placement, and subject to certain customary exemptions, Hexagon Composites has committed to a 3-month lock-up period with the Company's managers for the Private Placement, for the shares in the Company held by Hexagon Composites.
